I don't know if I've ever really mentioned this before, but I'm an artist. Or at least, I do art. Acrylic on canvas is my favorite and I love drawing hair. I don't know what it is, but that's what gets me. But this year is different. I won't really be working with acrylic or canvas or paper or pencil. This year I'll be working with form and making 3D art, ie. sculpture, found objects, clay, etc.

I am terrified.

Every year, all the AP Art students go on a retreat to an Indonesia island called Telunas. It's like an artists heaven, where we spend the majority of the day eating and "arting." Even our chaperones got in on it, I was especially amused by our vice-principal (he joined us on the trip). He made himself a little "doll," which was adorable. I was also very productive *cough cough*. I covered my sketchbook with stickers. It took me a good hour and a half. I'm pretty pleased with myself and if that's not productive, then I don't know what is. Seriously though, I got a lot done. I sketched and practiced making 3D forms. It was a wonderful learning experience and I was able to meet so many new people. I know almost all the art suite and they are such a wonderful group of people. I feel so lucky to be a part of it.

If you're interested, I might put some of my work up from last year. But I need to figure out how to water mark it...hmmmmm. Any suggestions?

Ah jealous, I can draw but when there's something spesific for me to draw I'm so lack of imagination. I would love to see your works ofcourse! the retreat looked so much fun :D shame on me that I dont know where telunas is :O xx

So not only are you adorable, but you're the creative artistic type too. Love how you corrected that self-label there, but no need to - if you want to be an artist, then an artist you are! Beautiful photos.

Sup guise.
You can call me Annika. I'm a tall blonde with big intentions and a wild style. I tend to be drawn in by feathers and sequins, so don't be surprised if I wear a Big Bird suit. That's just me being the 17 year old that I am :)
